Intersecting Knowledge Fields and Integrating Data-Driven Computational Design en Route to Performance-Oriented and Intensely Local Architectures by Michael U Hensel, Søren S Sørensen

“…This paper discusses research by design efforts in architectural education, focused on developing concepts and methods for the design of performance-oriented and intensely local architectures. The pursued notion of performance foregrounds the interaction between a given architecture and its local setting, with consequences not only for the design product but also for the related processes by which it is generated. …”

Photoirradiation Caused Controllable Wettability Switching of Sputtered Highly Aligned c-Axis-Oriented Zinc Oxide Columnar Films by P. W. Chi, C. W. Su, B. H. Jhuo, D. H. Wei

“…This study presents the microstructure morphology and UV photoirradiation coupling effects of the c-axis-oriented zinc oxide (ZnO) columnar films. Highly aligned c-axis-oriented films have been deposited onto glass substrates at room temperature by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering without introducing any oxygen source under different sputtering powers ranging from 50 to 150 W. …”

Ultrahigh piezoelectric performances of (K,Na)NbO3 based ceramics enabled by structural flexibility and grain orientation by Li-Feng Zhu, Dong Liu, Xiaoming Shi, Shiqing Deng, Jiecheng Liu, Li-Yu Wei, Zi-Qi Yang, Qi Wang, Bo-Ping Zhang, Houbing Huang, Shujun Zhang, Jing-Feng Li

“…Here, we achieve an ultrahigh piezoelectric charge coefficient d33 ∼ 807 pC·N−1, along with a high longitudinal electromechanical coupling factor (k33 ∼ 88%) and Curie temperature (Tc ∼ 245 °C) in the (K,Na)(Nb1-x Sb x )O3-Bi0.5Na0.5ZrO3-BiFeO3 (KNN-xSb) system through structural flexibility and grain orientation strategies. Phenomenological models, phase field simulations and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy reveal that the structural flexibility originates from the high Coulomb force between K+/Na+ ions and Sb ions in the KNN-xSb system, while the grain orientation promotes the displacement of B-site cations leveraging the engineered domain configuration. …”

High-Temperature Creep Behavior of a Nickel-Based Single-Crystal Superalloy with Small-Angle Deviation from [111] Orientation by Guangyan Wang, Song Zhang, Guoqi Zhao, Ning Tian, Huajin Yan, Sugui Tian, Fangwei Jin

“…By means of tensile creep tests and microstructure analysis, the creep behavior and deformation mechanism of a nickel-based single-crystal alloy with small-angle deviations from the [111] orientation at 1040°C/137 MPa were investigated. The results suggested that in the early stage of creep, proliferating dislocations generated by different slip systems get accumulated in the γ phase. …”
